The day that 200 gram chip packets (crisps) are now 150 gram. They had a brief stint at 190 grams, but the possibility of even small bags filled mostly with air was too tempting for both Bluebird and ETA.

I find it so silly that packaged food is in ever small portions to keep things at “magic” price points. Just inflate the god dam price.

Sorry, I have lots of things to rant about, but this is about the only one suitable for public airing….

I have updated the installer on GoogleCode. Second time in the same month.

The major change is that you can now save your game! This is quite exciting for me, as now the game is actually playable. The file formats are not changed from the original DOS version, so these files should be loadable from DOS, if that sort of thing is of interest.

The three other changes are:

small pictures are now displayed correctly, in scripted sequences, like the DEMO.

Fighter hit points are correctly managed in the modify player screen.

I have mapped the [ and ] keys to the keypad ‘home’ and ‘end’, so menu’s can be scrolled on my laptop as it has no keypad…

I found the plot very enjoyable, the game play and puzzles were ever changing, and therefore things were not too repetitive.

I played the 100 level cave, and got to level 87 in one hour before running out of health. Annoyingly I was ~1000 points away from a level-up, and the free hit-point regeneration that comes with it. But I’m not sure I will re-attemp the cave, before returning the game to Shannon, after all I still have Zelda – Wind Waker and Pickman 2 to complete!
